Paul & Joe Beaute Glossy Lip Color

Released earlier in the Fall Paul & Joe Beaute Glossy Lip Color ($29) is hybrid gloss and lipstick formula that brings a little piece of Asian beauty to US shores.

With the color of a lipstick and the glossiness and shine of a traditional lipgloss this lip hugging moisturizing lip color is a pleasurable indulgence for lips!

Available in ten shades Paul & Joe Beaute Glossy Lip Color is a fairly new (and permanent) lip color that acts as a gloss and lipstick all in one. These comes in Paul & Joe’s whimsical packaging featuring a floral design on the topper and a pale beige tube making the outside as pretty as what’s inside.

The glosses have a flocked applicator that’s light covered in a sponge so it leans towards being more of a traditional plastic spatula that many Korean and Japanese brands use with glosses. This applicator saturates well with color and allows for easy application on lips. The formula has a light texture with a non-sticky consistency that wears for around three hours before showing some fading and wearing away by hour four. They have a very light fruity flavor and fragrance that’s pleasant and not overwhelming!

The formula has a lip hugging finish that gives a plushy look and a grip that doesn’t allow the color to migrate or feather. It’s quite nicely hydrating through the wear and the color although sheer at first builds to a nice opacity depending on the shade you purchase.

They are more of a gloss than a lipstick and remind me of products like L’Oreal Color Caresse Shine Stain and Shiseido Maquillage Essence Glamorous Rouge however, the texture is more of a gel-like consistency.

Paul & Joe Beaute Glossy Lip Color is a beautiful lipgloss experience! They give lips a nice shine, a good deal of color, and wear pleasantly with a hydrating texture that doesn’t dry lips out. If you’ve wanted to play with Asian makeup but didn’t have a means to do so this is an excellent way to experience a great Japanese formula without dealing with air mail and online sellers as you can easily grab them at locations like Beauty Habit as well as beauty.com.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.
